Kingdom of the West

As Esme and Aleister walked in the hallway making their way towards the royal garden, the latter suddenly asked her a question, ''Have you ever heard of Defire Kingdom?" 

Esme was bewildered for a moment before she nodded, ''That mysterious Kingdom of the West?" 

''Mhmm,'' Aleister nodded and grabbed her hand, and intertwined their fingers. 

''What are you doing?" Esme glanced at the guards around the hallway who were stealing glances with their gazes lowered. 

''I'm still weak. You promised to help me and nurse me back to health. Now that I need your hand to walk, you won't even give your hand to me. How did I not know that you were this ruthless?" He glanced at grievously. 

Esme looked at him for a moment before she nodded, ''Alright, you can do that... Wait...'' she glanced at him suspiciously, ''How did you walk till here if you are that unwell?" 

''That's because I was looking at you.''
